Congratulations to Leanne King and Elisa Smith, who were each awarded the 2015 Lloyd International Honors College Student Excellence Award on April 29, 2015. This award is given to UNCG Seniors based on superior demonstration of creativity and originality; motivation, initiative and perseverance; analytic, synthetic and critical thinking skills; and the ability to communicate orally and in writing.

The Nutrition Department hosted School Nutrition Association workshops on June 24 and 25, 2015. Each year, UNCG is a participant in the Annual Meeting for the NC School Nutrition Association. As a part of the week long meeting with educational sessions, and an equipment/product exposition, 50-75 NC-SNA members come over to the campus for a hands on workshop for skill development. In the past, workshop topics have been pasta making, canning, jelly production, cheese making, etc. This year the workshop focused on production of a whole wheat yeast roll from scratch! See pictures from the workshops here. After the workshops, the yeast rolls were donated to the Greensboro Urban Ministry by Food Recovery Network here at UNCG.
